Recap of Previous Games: Cubs just won the series with the Giants and now face the Mets at home. Almonte may return in late June as he's close to returning. Wicks has an oblique injury, and Brown is recovering from a "benign area" in his neck, as he may only miss the minimum time or a few weeks. Analysis of team performance, strengths, weaknesses, and roster changes, including Brown, Wicks IL stints. Hendricks takes the 5th spot in the rotation. Ethan Roberts was added to the 40 man roster, while CJ Edwards opted out. Roberts may replace Wesneski if he doesn't pick it up soon. Will the cubs make trades for Kyle Finnegan, Hunter Harvey, Carlos Esteves in the pen? Or upgrade offense with Pete Alonso or Elias Diaz?
